Land Acknowledgement
We want to acknowledge the original caretakers of this land who were entrusted to from time immemorial, the Algonquin Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy which includes the nearby Mohawks and many other First People who crossed these lands for sustenance, trade and survival. To do this acknowledgement is to recognize its longer history predating the establishment of European colonies. It is also to acknowledge this territories significance for indigenous Peoples who lived and continue to live upon it. A People whose practices and spiritualities were tied to the land and continue to develop in relationship to the territory and its other inhabitants today.
The Kingston Indigenous communities continue to reflect the area's Algonquin Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee roots, with also a significant Metis, Cree, Inuit and a new community of other First People from many nations across Turtle Island, including Mexico and Central America who are present here today. It is with deep humility that we acknowledge and offer our gratitude for their contributions to this community, having respect for all as we share the space now and walk side by side into the future.
